some time she announced that she
had again determined to leave him
and seek shelter under Thomas

that they called upon her while in
Thomas house and dared her to
come out. On Thomas assuring her
that she would have fair play, Man
dY went to the door and was at once
attacked by the four. She fell after
short struggle. fatally wounded.
Thomas fought desperately for his
paramour, using club with terrible
effect upon the sisters, one Of whom

WASHINGTON, D. c., June TO-
The June returns of the Department
of Agriculture indicate a reduction
of nearly two per cent. in the area
of winter wheat. Changes in the
acreage of the State are very slight,
except in Kansas where the reduce
ton of % per cent is reported,
caused by bad harvests and low
prices If spring wheat. The area
has been enlarged 6 per cent, from
increase of immigration and farm
making west of the Mississippi in
the districts traversed by the North
ern Pacific railroad. Most of the in
crease is in Dakota, which reports
an increment of "a per cent. The
total area of wheat is about 81, ,0OO,-
| lOOO acres, fraction of one per cent
more than of the previous crop
In the condition of winter wheat
there is no marked change. the av'
erage being $40 reduction of nine

The NeuS Observer says The Ashe-

and its already great value is enhanced
accordingly.
The Shelby New Era says: We are
glad to see the Asheville CITIZEN again
taking press dispatches 1t is one of the
most welcome exchanges that come to
our table and is, as we think, about as
nearly right on all the important ques.
tions before the people as any paper with
which we are acquainted. Asheville
should be able to support first class
paper, and the CITIZEN has upon its staff
the ability to give it one. OF course. for
this, dispatches are essential and we are
glad that our contemporary has them.

New York, June 1o.--There was lit
tie larger volume of business done in the
stock market to-day. The dullneas
was principally trade of the market.
London was again buyer chiefly of Lake
Shore, ST., Paul and Reading, which
stocks led the market throughout. In
the remainder of the list there was little
or nothing done. The opening was firm
at advance of from Is to g per cent over
figures of Thursday. There was fair
business during the first few minutes but
the market became dull and SO contin'
ued throughout. The general list was
firm, and fractional advances we're estab-
lished, while Lake Erie and Western
preferred showed marked strength. A
period Of stagnation followed and during
the afternoon general heavy tone was
noticed. The market finally closed
steady and near to opening figures. A
majority of the active list show fraction
al advances, while Lake Erie and West
ern preferred is up rs, and Norfolk and
Western preferred and Tennessee coal
are up one per cent. each.

MILK AND HONEY.

M1Lh AMI 11ONE1'
The most natural and rational ex>
pectation of visitors to the moun>
tains is oceans of rich, fresh, cold
milk. The mountain and the dairy
are closely associated in TIE mind.
The cool verdant grassy valleys, and
the turf COVERED mountain sides are
peopled by fancy with herds of sleek
COWS, groaning under the weight of
teeming udders, and the fancy fills
up the sketch with the visions of
picturesque milkmaids, and cold
spring-houses, and dairies fragrant
with the odors of the foaming fresh
milk, and the full crooks or pans set
to rise, and the golden pats of sweet
yellow butter. But :
"Tis not all my fancy painted it,"
But year by year it is growing
something like it here, and the Wis
itor realizes in part some of his
bright imaginings. The increase Of
dairiea in this vicinity is gratifying

trict. The annual apporionment for the
last two years has been about 81 per

this month the Treasurer paid the last
order to teacher for services. From
then till now, we have lad no free school
for the whites. rhe money oftwo years
is in the treasury except what has been
paid for lot-S600. The school officials
will commence the erection of school
building at the earliest Gay that they
consider themselves safe in so doing.
Then, after the building is complete and
money enough acolmulates from the
scanty levy, the SC lool officials OF this
District can and will start school. My
dear people, do you want to wait about
two years more? If so, fail to vote for
the proposition to establish a Graded
School and you can have your wishes.
If you desire public school earlier, 20

for the Graded School; and, as soon as
the tax can be collected and suitable
buildings procured Che school will start
